the paper discusses the use of modern information technologies, and in particular geographic information systems (gis), in the management and control of major accident risk. for this purpose, the regulatory framework of the recent “seveso ii” directive is briefly described. the referencing in space of the phenomena may be defined in terms of a geometrically exact or a relative location. the for...

introduction: today, medical software are used in different aspects of healthcare varying from simple data processing to collection and interpretation of physiological information and education of nurses and physicians. to ensure use of medical software, they must be constantly evaluated based on specific criteria. since there is no organized evaluation system and comprehensive criteria for eva...

introduction: acute coronary syndrome (acs) includes st segment elevation myocardial infarction (stemi), non- st segment elevation myocardial infarction (nstemi), and unstable angina. it is among the leading causes of death. registry systems are designed and implemented to collect and analyze the data related to a specific disease. decreasing the burden acs would need some strategies such as de...

1 This paper is abridged and adapted from Nickerson, et al. in press. Specifically, only three of the problems presented to student designers are discussed here and an additive tree analysis of errors is added. Abstract Designers use sketches to offload memory and information processing and to promote discovery and inferences. Designers of information systems depend on topological connectivity ...

Interoperability of health information systems will enable clinicians to communicate with their patients and each other using information and communication technology to enable safer, effective, and efficient care, and improve population health. Health information technology (HIT) standards are the key to interoperability. The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) has been ...

In many ways, medicine, and specifically dermatology, is practiced in much the same manner today as in centuries ago, but more recently, dermatologists have been facing enormous changes in the way they perform their profession and much of this is a result of a fundamental change in the manner in which information is exchanged through information technology. With the advent of more advance...

designing an effective criterion for selecting the best rule is a major problem in theprocess of implementing fuzzy learning classifier (flc) systems. conventionally confidenceand support or combined measures of these are used as criteria for fuzzy rule evaluation. in thispaper new entities namely precision and recall from the field of information retrieval (ir)systems is adapted as alternative...
